Resveratrol continues to make an impact in health magazines and TV shows. This healthy trend is helping to spread the word about the benefits of this incredible product.

Resveratrol supplements have been one of Lucky Vitamin top-selling items in the past few years due to his anti-aging properties.

Resveratrol is a natural occurring antioxidant found primarily in red wine.

It’s present in a wide variety of plants, including grapes and peanuts. Many people are true believers that one glass of wine a day is healthy because of its resveratrol contents.

Wine is the primary dietary source of resveratrol. Red wine contains much greater amounts of resveratrol than does white wine, since resveratrol is concentrated in the grape skin and the manufacturing process of red wine includes prolonged contact with grape skins.

Studies have shown an extended list of health benefits from resveratrol supplements. It has been linked to longevity, reducing heart disease and cancer prevention. An average glass of red wine provides approximately 640 mcg of resveratrol, normally a sufficient intake needed daily. The problem is the presence of alcohol which may not be suitable for many people. Peanuts can also be considered a high source of resveratrol, providing about 73 mcg per handful.

Resveratrol as a dietary supplement provide high doses of the product in a single capsule without the alcohol, and can support additional health conditions such as cholesterol and blood pressure.
